Héctor lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Oaxaca de Juárez General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,750. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Héctor could attend work interviews. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $2,750 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,550 • Fitting and training sessions: $100 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $65 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yolanda
